All the Jeremiah chapter-by-chapter articles have a statement describing the Codex Cairensis (895), the Petersburg Codex of the Prophets (916), Aleppo Codex (10th century), Codex Leningradensis as "ancient witnesses". Whilst clearly historic, I don't think it is accurate to describe documents of these dates as "ancient". The article on ancient history states that "the ending date of ancient history is disputed[:] some Western scholars use the fall of the Western Roman Empire in 476 AD (the most used), the closure of the Platonic Academy in 529 AD, the death of the emperor Justinian I in 565 AD, the coming of Islam, or the rise of Charlemagne", king of the Franks from 768, as the end of ancient and Classical European history. So I would suggest that the word "ancient" here should be replaced with "historic".
